Do you have any knowledge of the East side tiptoptaff, similar story over there?

I've had 2 external interviews. On both occasions it was the LOM and one of the current signallers interviewing, with no one from HR around. Also, both times I was told before the interview started that the job I applied for had been filled internally, but there was a lower grade role if I...

Agree with all of the above. In my DMI I was asked about my ability to study and used my 3 year degree to answer but was told they want to know about putting that study into practice and did I have a more relevant example. I then told them about a 2 week training course at work which was needed...

I'm really not sure what they are looking for to be honest. I have read in this thread several times that the 70 questions are only used if they need to separate multiple successful candidates and that interview screening is done via test scores and CV, but non of the outcomes make much sense to...

It depends on the Company. I have had one TOC accept me to their own enhanced pass level without having to re-sit any tests. EMT on the other-hand rejected me purely because I had sat the Group Bordon Test within 6 months of applying to them, irrespective of my score. Unless there is a test...

You can only take each test once within a 6 month period. The second TOC will use your NI number to check the scores that you achieved with the first TOC and let you know if that is enough to pass with them too or not. If you fell short of their enhanced standard, you would be required to sit...

My Piccadilly application is the same, but then again I'm still waiting to hear back from one last August too. Patience is definitely needed.

Also, EMT insist that you resit the Group Bourdon test with them no matter the score you may already have achieved. So your pass for this test must be more than 6 months ago to allow a resit.

I'm of the same mindset as Stigy. The talent pool email specifically states this is not an offer of a job and that the pool won't be ordered until all internals have been processed, which is probably some way off yet. I think it is more than likely that April will come long before a job offer...

Yes, I applied for the recent pool vacancies so am some way behind you. Always good to see things moving along and another on the forums getting good news though.

Congratulations Tracker! Great news! Are you heading to Oxford?

I'm external and received the same wording in my email too.

I'm struggling to understand what the reason for this engagement excersize was. 84% of respondents rated GWR as being at least okay, with the majority saying they are good. The overriding theme from the discussion suggests GWR are improving and most of the issues stem from the DfT and yet this...

I was under the impression that the current Vienna tests already did this to an extent. Don't they mark you against an expected outcome from a weighted average within your own demographic? So for example, a 30 year old male applicant is marked against expectations from other 30ish year old males...

Great news Stigy, congratulations!

I was told by GWR last week that they require either a mortgage statement or rental agreement as proof of relocation within 6 months of start date. Edit to add, 30 miles doesn't sound that far away, is it a long commute time? Ultimately, the only people that can tell you if your current...

No medical yet. Based on others experiences I'm not expecting things to move very quickly for quite some time now, though I only applied in December so no complaints at the speed things have moved so far.

Thanks! Hope you get good news soon too. They initially said results in a week so I was surprised the email came through so quickly.

I had my DMI with GWR yesterday and received confirmation today that I passed and have been placed in the Talent Pool for Oxford. My interview was with the driver managers for both Reading and Oxford (who were both lovely and really relaxed, friendly interviewers in case anyone has a DMI...

A month ago I was told march for the next available course so this sounds about right. However they said they would be looking to employ me before then to get to know the box and do some local training for a head start before the course.
